Overall a really nice product

everything came out really nice and helped me complete the theme however i do wish the entire text was illuminated better the ” gotta catch em all ” is pretty dim , if i knew this would be the case i definitely would have went with just the Pokemon text. I was surprised when no adhesive magnets came with my order , so i ran to hobby lobby and got some for 6$ ( i dont know if they are supposed to come with it honestly)

Found these guys from kristopher yee’s youtube channel and would still definitely recommend the product.

Poor lighting and customer service.

I ordered the custom design with text lighting. Due to a lack of explanation on what areas are less likely to shine. Part of my design just shows up blank. Though that’s an oversight on my part, but an email from the designer would have been a nice customer service on the company part. The issue I have is that the cable giving to me for the ique does not work right and after roughly a week of explaining they said they will mail me new cables. Well its has been over a week and I have not heard from the company at all or recieved new cables.

The only reason I gave them 3 stars is because a friend order a custom backplate at roughly the same time and I see how nice ther work can look. Unfortunately I received poor service and a lack luster backplate.

Love the image on it but wish the LEDs would shine through

This may have just been an oversight on my part as I was browsing through the different backplates, but I settled on the Primordial Space one because I loved the look of the image. I just got it and installed it and while I do love it, my main slight disappointment is that there are no spots on the image where the rgb can shine through, it’s only on the edge. When I look at some of the other space backplates, it looks like there are spots where the light can show through and I’d love to have that on mine. Other than that I love this thing!

I also had a slight issue with connecting it to my Corsair Node Pro, no matter what I set through iCue, it was only showing solid white. Not sure if this was an iCue issue or a Node Pro issue, but I changed to the rf remote and it works beautifully, so not a big deal to me.
